SERMON NOTES:
Genesis 12:10 - 13:4
Our failures and God’s faithfulness
Test will often follow triumphs
Don’t think “how can I get out of this?” But rather, “how can I get through this with God?”
James 1:2-4
Egypt: the world. Spiritual bondage. Wrong alliance with God. Trusting Human Resources rather than God.
Abram’s trials before going to Egypt:
His wife was barren (He was unsure of God’s promises)
Destination unknown (He felt directionless / not in control of his future)
He was isolated (He left his people)
He had loss (His father had passed)
Canaanites were in the land / He found no home
Famine in the land (Life was a daily struggle)
Signs that you’ve spiritually wandered down to Egypt:
You’ve got from trusting God to scheming with man.
Proverbs 3:5-6
You’ve gone from confidence in God to fear of man.
Proverbs 29:25
Galatians 1:10
2 Timothy 1:7 ESV
You’ve gone from serving others to being consumed with yourself
Genesis 12:11-13
You’ve gone from bringing blessing to bringing judgement
Genesis 12:17
In Egypt, even the things you gain will cause you trouble
Even when our faith is weak, our God is strong
2 Timothy 2:13
Genesis 12:8
Genesis 13:3-4
Don’t abandon your alter
If you find yourself in a spiritual Egypt, go back to the place of worship that you were before
Revelation 2:4-5
